The system took me to the peak of life in ancient times
Chapter 45: A lively New Year
New Year’s Eve is at 5:00 p.m.
The street lights on the entire street lit up at the same time. The malls, shops, and stalls in the game street and food street also lit up lights of various colors.
In an instant, the festive atmosphere of the entire street reached its peak.
"Wow! So beautiful."
"Yes, it's beautiful. It's really beautiful."
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful street.”
"Let's go buy some firecrackers."
"Great! Let's go, let's go, I want to buy some firecrackers."
The streets were crowded with people buying firecrackers and setting off fireworks, creating a lively scene.
For many people from other places, it was the first time that they saw the New Year celebrations be so lively.
For a moment, the streets were filled with cheers and exclamations.
"Third sister, my parents have just booked a room in the hotel. We can put these things back in the hotel first, take a rest for a while, and then continue shopping.
After walking around for a while, it’s time for the movie. After the movie, it’s time for the New Year’s lucky draw.” A girl in a red dress said, holding the arm of a girl in green.
“Wow, Mom and Dad actually managed to book a hotel, that’s not easy.
Let's go to the hotel and rest for a while, otherwise I won't be able to hold on for a whole day."
The girl in green clothes looked helpless. She was tired physically from shopping, but not mentally. It was the first time she saw such a lively New Year scene. Who could resist it? Besides, she was a person who liked shopping.
"Haha, who told you to keep shopping? And you bought so much food." The girl in red rolled her eyes at the girl in green.
"Oh, I can't help it, the food is so delicious. I heard that a lot of the food in the food street was given by Miss Wang, the owner of the wonderful store.
She is so nice. If I were a man, I would definitely fall in love with her."
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the lottery.
Many people collected all five red stamps on the redemption ticket.
A row of yamen runners stood on both sides of the prize redemption area. In the middle of the area stood a two-meter-high platform.
On the table on the stage, there was a big red box with the word "prize" written on it.
The area was crowded with people watching the fun.
"Hey? Have you collected them all?"
"Haha, I have gathered them all a long time ago, and have been waiting for this moment."
"Haha, me too. I've been waiting here for a while. I just want to stand in the first row and watch the fun."
"Everyone line up, five at a time, put the main lottery tickets into this big red box, and take the duplicate tickets for yourselves." A yamen runner stood on a two-meter-high platform, holding a loudspeaker and shouting, and patted the big red box.
“After putting it in, you can go to the open space on the left and wait for the draw.
A quarter of an hour later the lottery officially began.
The lottery drawer is our prefect, Lord Wang. Whoever number Lord Wang draws is the winner.
The winners will wait for the prizes to be distributed in the prize redemption area on the right. If you miss the time to release the prize redemption ticket, you will no longer be able to participate in the lucky draw. "
After hearing the officer's speech, the crowd suddenly became agitated, and everyone was discussing who would win the prize next.
The official opened the red box and passed the empty red box around in front of the people to show that there was no cheating. Then he handed the red box to Prefect Wang who walked up to the platform.
Soon, the people who had collected the five red stamps followed the instructions of the yamen runners, walked to the red box in rows, and put the main lottery tickets into it.
The people who participated in the lottery were all very excited, hoping that they would win the grand prize.
Gradually, fewer and fewer people put lottery tickets into the red box.
"There is less than a quarter of an hour left. Those who haven't put the lottery ticket into the red box, come here quickly." A yamen runner shouted with a loudspeaker.
A few people trotted over and quickly put the lottery tickets into the red box.
The people around them were all worried about them. They kept telling them to "run faster, run faster."
"The time is up. Now our Qingshan City prefect will conduct the lottery."
Magistrate Wang walked to a two-meter-high platform. On the platform was a table, and the red box was lying quietly on the table.
At this time, all eyes were focused on the red box, and everyone's eyes were wide open, wanting to see who would win the prize.
"Next, we will draw the sixth prize. The prize is: a supermarket voucher worth 2 taels of silver, a total of people."
Magistrate Wang put one hand into the round opening on the top of the red box, and within a few breaths he grabbed out a handful of lottery tickets.
The yamen runner nearby took the lottery tickets and began to read out the numbers one by one until Magistrate Wang took out 1000 tickets.
The people were afraid of missing out, so they didn't dare to speak and listened carefully.
For a moment, the scene was unusually quiet.
The yamen runner shouted with a loudspeaker.
“No. 9, No. 4, No. 520, No. 13, No. 14, No. 99, No. 945, No. 856, No. 521…”
When the people heard that they had won the prize, they were about to shout excitedly, but they quickly covered their mouths and excitedly walked towards the prize redemption area with the duplicate coupons.
After the yamen runner finished reading out the 1000 winning numbers, he continued, "We will post the winning numbers later. If you didn't hear it clearly, you can go check it out. You can come and claim your prize before the 16th of the first lunar month."
Next, let’s draw the fifth prize, 5 taels of silver…
The lucky draw took a full hour.
At the end of the event, the people’s excitement, which they had been suppressing for a long time, finally burst out.
Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar, with exclamations and laughter filling the night sky.
"Hahaha, I won the prize. I actually won the prize."
"Oh my god, I actually won the lottery. Ten taels of silver can last me a long time."
"Haha, dad, our family won a prize. A notebook, a ballpoint pen, and some money. Now we have enough money for our child to go to school, hahaha."
"Haha, I'm finally lucky for once. I was so unlucky before. Finally, haha."
"Brother, congratulations, you won the fifth prize."
"Haha, second brother, congratulations."
When some people heard that their brothers had won the prize, they immediately came forward to congratulate them.
Some people stared at the two brothers with envy, looking at the lottery tickets in their hands, wishing they were the ones to win the prize.
"Miss, we won the prize too, we won the prize too, haha, the sixth prize." Cui'er excitedly held the duplicate ticket, pulled Wang Simeng's arm, and almost jumped for joy.
"Haha, yes, the three of us all won sixth prize." Wang Simeng agreed happily.
"New Year's Eve is coming soon. Are the fireworks and other things ready?" Wang Simeng asked Shuang'er.
"Yes, don't worry, miss. Everything is ready. We are just waiting for you to give the order to set off the fireworks." Shuang'er said happily.
"Okay, then I'll give the order to set off the fireworks. Now that the draw is over and the new year is coming soon, the timing is just right." Wang Simeng smiled, then signaled Shuang'er to lead the selected people to set off the fireworks.
Soon, the fireworks took off into the sky.
Fireworks drew graceful arcs in the sky, blooming with brilliant colors. The fireworks lit up the sky, the entire earth, the dark clouds in the sky, and the stars in the sky.
The fireworks lasted for half an hour until the last firework went up into the sky and displayed four big characters: Happy New Year. The fireworks show ended.
